lots NU activity this year…. in order to fight the global stupidities…. please JOIN US!

HIDROS 8 – HEAL

an attempt to rise and find the questions about the state of things of the moment.

there is an extreme unbalance on local and global layers at the moment — from ideological, economical, cultural and political perspectives –  

and we need an equilibrium of some sorts very soon.

what can make it all HEAL?

can it HEAL ?

and for how long can it HEAL?

are there more questions to find?

if we can find the questions – we might find the answers. or is it enough with the questions in order to HEAL?

only the next generation can tell. – therefor this piece is dedicated to my 9 year old daughter Leah.

the NU ensemble tour is over…. Hidros 6 – knockin´ and Hidros 7 – ZAP is done…. in stockholm, poznan, krakow, warsaw and wels unlimited…. we thank EVERYONE involved! and we look forward to the next time .

“see you in a minute!”

here it is…. full length…. filmed from a distance but w decent sound…

HIDROS 7 – ZAP – live at the 30th wels unlimited festival . nov 11th 2016.

hidros 7 was premiered in sardinia in september.

this is the new alternative 1.2 version with the NU ensemble that premiered Hidro 6 – knockin´in 2013.

confusing with all the different line ups ????
